if there's anything special added on the Magnolia one, I might have to get it

The e-mail hint will be:

"But it did happen"

or whatever that quote is.  :yabbse-grin:

no, everyone and their dog is talking about these fake Criterion covers.  I don't really get why they're such a big deal...  people have been doing fake CC Covers forever and a lot of these are designed kinda poorly.

This really makes me wish I could find the old "Goodburger" Criterion cover someone here made. That was back in the pre-diagonal-C-logo days.

I remember seeing the Topsy Turvy trailer when I saw Being John Malkovich in the theater and I shouted gay at the screen. I see it now and just say, "no thanks"

I've grown up so much.

IFC just tweeted this:

RT @CriterionCorner: CERTIFIED COPY is being released by @IFCFilms on 3/11/11. this young decade's best film & a future @Criterion classic.

I love the Kiarostami I've seen, and this news excites me more than March's release slate. I'm not familiar with any of the 3, but I'm not biting at the bit to find out more.

We often went to the cinema, the screen would light up and we would tremble, but also, increasingly often, Madeleine and I were disappointed. The images had dated, they jittered, and Marilyn Monroe had gotten terribly old. We were sad, this wasn't the film we had dreamed of, this wasn't the total film that we all carried around inside us, this film that we would have wanted to make, or, more secretly, no doubt, that we would have wanted to live.

Is Breaking the Waves too much of a stretch?

I don't know, that'd be nice, but I'm sooooooo excited to hear that Vigo may be getting a place amongst the Criterion. I hope hope hope they'd make some sort of box for him, since he has so few films.

I'm pretty stoked about this year.

Not necessarily. People with better ideas than me of Criterion norms list it as a good possibility and Criterion probably wants to establish Lars Von Trier as a prerequisite for the catalog, especially if his library is more accessible. Criterion should be able to get hold of Breaking the Waves in this DVD landscape at some point. A real special edition of the film doesn't exist in Region 1 so it's due for real attention again.

Blow Out is the best announcement I've heard in a while.

I've been waiting for them to officially announce it for some time and, now that they have, I'm pretty goddamn excited.
